Process Record of the Final Design

1. Use draping tapes on the head model to support parttern making and basic

    measurements.

2. Creating two pattern pieces.

3. Creating the prototype. This process includes sewing two pieces together, and cutting a

    fabric block for the length of twice of the hood length, width of 3 inches. The next step 

    aims to double back the fabric block, and sew the open edges at ⅜ inch. Then pull two 

    ends of the threads to shrink the fabric to the length of the hood. 

4. Hood finishing look on the head model.

5. Theme element design. This process includes selecting red polyerster thread, gluing
